New Peoples: Being & Becoming Métis in North America

by Jennifer S.H. Brown, Jacqueline Peterson, Robert K. Thomas

This is the first major work to explore in a North American context the dimensions and meanings of a process fundamental to the European invasion and colonisation of the western hemisphere: the intermingling of European and Native American peoples. This book is not about racial mixture, however, but rather about ethnogenesis — about how new peoples, new ethnicities, and new nationalities come into being.

A pretty good collection of Metis papers. They're a good variety as well.
